Kashrut/shabbat

Question

Is it enough for one to just look at the ingredients on a package to determine its kashrut status? Or is there more to it then just ingredients (bishul akum...)? Are there any problems with drying oneself off with a towel after swimming on shabbat?

Answer

Answered by Aaron Abadi

1) Ingredients is enough. Bishul Akum does not apply to packaged items that are manufactured and shipped. 2) No. Just like you dry your hands with a towel. AA
